The Alpha Beast

Chapter 1: Captive

Theodore

The throbbing in the trunk finally stoped. Thank God, my headache was getting just worse. I couldnt help but repeat the scene from last in my head.  Don't bother.... You don't have it in you...

Aaahh  I growl. Damn it. How did it happen. All my life I've been imagining the day I finally meet the bastard and he just dies in front of me. He didn't even blink when I approached him. Instead he left me with this liability I think as she starts hitting again. She has endurance I must admit. 

I keep thinking about what happend, with my mood just getting worser. I don't stop until I reach the woods that lead to my home. Damn I'm irritated again. I couldn't change to jeep with her in the trunk. Now I have to go extra slow on this forest road.

Finally, at the nightfall when I reach the final destination, I turned off the engine and just sit there. What the hell am I going to do with her. Why the hell did I ever take her with me. I should not care for a murderers daughter.

I open the trunk and get her out to sit on the edge of the car. She looks at me with a frown and anger in her  eyes. But behind that attitude I can hear her heart beating fast and see her strugle to breath even. 

"Move." I say to her roughly. As I turn around I catch her gaze behind me in awe. As she stays still I turn to her again and growl. It made her startle and she finally moves.

Inside, in the big hallway, I get to the cabinet to grab the key. I heard something heavy break into hundred peaces. Thats when I realised it was from crashing of a big glass vase onto my head. 

That was not. a. good. idea. I growl very furiosly.

Just as I turned to run he loudly growled and grabbed me at my wrist. I scream.

"No! Please let me go!" 

But he doesn't stop. He drags me violently to some dark corrdors. I try to wrest but it's of no use. He is way stronger and taller and just pulls me further and deeper inside. My wrist starts to hurt. As we turn to stairs that lead down I start to whimper. I never felt so scared in my life.

"Please..I'm sorry...Don't.." I continue to struggle. 

He finally stops in front of some doors and pushes me inside. As I fall on my knees he slams the door and leaves. What is this place?

I stand up and look around. It looks like some kind of dungeon. It's a rather small, empty room. It has a small window with metal bars and it smells of mold.

My hurting hand drags my attention. And then I remember. At the second he turned to me and started to drag me, I saw it. His face was so twisted from anger, I tought I saw fangs. 

No Evie, don't exaggerate. You just got scared. And a bad luck.

How did I get here. Father what have you done. Did you know this guy from before? How did he get to us? What does he want of me?

It didn't go  long, when I heard steps comming closer. The large heavy door open and it's him again. I step back.  He looks calmer but still has dark look on his face.

 "Get out." he said coldly.

"W-why.." I whisper.

"You wanna stay here?" he said now annoyed.

"No"

"Then out."

I slowly step out. He moves his head to show me to go in front of him. Just now I see how long this corridor actually is. I struggle to find my tempo. He is right behind me, I can feel how close he is yet I can't make my feet move faster. God knows where he's taking me. It's also very dark. As we reach the stairs it's even darker and I stumble a the first one. Great, as if I didn't already feel down enough.

We go further and further, higher and higher. I remember outside, this place looked like a giant castle. Inside, it gave the same impression. The place was almost empty. The walls were made of stones and there were unlited torches. A little light was comming from big windows, but it was dark and cloudy outside. And it was very cold.

"Stop."  finally he said as he opened a door on our left. 

I slowly got in. 

"Make yourself at home." he said ironically and left locking the door.

I come closer to the window moving the old dusty curtains apart. There is nothing I can see except large forest and mountains behind it. Where am I I think to myself as my eyes start to burn and tears start falling down my cheeks.
